Insulin Response in Relation to Insulin Sensitivity

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterize differences in the acute insulin response to glucose (AIR(g)) relative to insulin sensitivity (S(I)) in black and white premenopausal normoglycemic South African women matched for body fatness. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional analysis including 57 black and white South African women matched for BMI, S(I), AIR(g), and the disp...

Public Participation: Methods Matter; A Response to Boaz et al.

Insulin assay standardization: leading to measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion for practical clinical care: response to Staten et al.

In their recent commentary, Staten et al. (1) describe their very valuable attempt to standardize insulin assays. Their aim is to allow quantitative comparison of the results obtained in one lab with those measured by a different assay in another lab. I’d like to highlight an issue when it comes to reporting the results. The insulin concentration must be stated in SI units nowadays, i.e., in pm...

The effect of exercise status on response of homocysteine and insulin resistance to aerobic exercise in postmenopausal obese women

Homocysteine and insulin resistance in postmenoupausal women rises due to decrease in estrogen, low mobility and weight gain which increase the cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aerobic exercise training status on response of homocysteine and insulin resistance to aerobic exercise in active and nonactive obese postmenopausal women. Therefore, 21 obese ...
